4/5
"Apart from a contrived ending, Jindabyne comes as close as can be to a perfect drama."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
4/5
"powerful, unsettling"
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
"
Jindabyne
uses Claire and Stewart's increasingly visible and vicious upset to get at broader social and political upsets."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"...generally comes off as an overwrought and flat-out silly piece of work."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
B
"The film's sensitive treatment of the domestic issues at the center of the story goes far to make up for the more problematic passages."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
4/5
"A sobering and serious Australian movie that touches the deep places in us that are haunted and colored by love, loss, community, and grief."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"The result is a mature and challenging motion picture, and something that will stick with viewers after the screen has gone dark."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"Linney is fascinating as a woman trapped under the weight of loneliness and desperation, willing to make sacrifices for security."
Light Views
John Larsen
"A 24-page short story stretched into a 123-minute film."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
"With its cold brilliance and delicate aloofness, this is a movie you can hold aloft to recognize and examine its many intellectual facets in hard light, but it will never make you feel anything."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
5/5
"Despite a glacial exterior, this fine film holds us in its relentless grip."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
C+
"Less a moral dilemma than a meditation on the differences between men and women in matters of social decorum."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B+
"The issues raised in
Jindabyne
%u2013 race hatred and prejudice and opposing those antisocial acts %u2013 resonate on a world level."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
4/10
"A whole lot of padding turns a fine enough story into a dour, wordy slog."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
3/4
"Only the third feature film Lawrence has directed since the surreal black comedy cult favorite
Bliss
(1985),
Jindabyne
marks yet another triumph for the director."
